@ Lucretia

If you can't find a translation of a book in Greek, maybe you could find a translation in English.
I know that we can download classical french books for free on a web site, but i don't know the link. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />
Maybe Seraph knows it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Beyond Divinity has the story written by TP's daughter so the collaboration is not impossible. Later, though, when Larian get more money.

There were 3 Discworld adventure game.
DW 1, DW2 and DW Noir.
The last one, although with a few misconceptions of DW characters, were great.
The games were made by the same company, which later closed and re-oppened recently under the name of Sick Puppies. Their first game, Ghost Master, got excellent ratings from reivewers arround the world, yet I am not sure of the sales.
If you never heard of Ghost Master, think "Evil Sims".

I am reading Anne Rice's vampire chronicles lately. I read and loved "Interview with a vampire" a while ago so I bought The Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned. I finished them and started A Tale of the Body Thief but it was an exam period so I left it... Untill now. I also bought "Memnoch the Devil".


Dan Simmons... I read a few short stories of his in a book which in addition has some stories by Stephen King and a short novel by George Martin.
Although Martin's novel was the best text in the book, I found the 3 stories by Dan Simmons original. Expecially "Vanni Fucci is Alive and Well and Living In Hell".

Winterfox, Guards!Guards! was the first book I read and ironically I reccomended Lews to get it too.
I remember some girl on ICQ told me about Terry Pratchett when I was 12 and so my addiction began <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />.

WAHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! read Reaper Man in 24 hours. very very very nice book. Datd, I see why you chose your name <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> .

now started the Hogfather. will start Guards! Guards! after i'm done stealing the "fat guy".

@ Barta thnx. French literature is my favourite. I have read so many french witers and I have gained so much pleasure from those books. I recently finished all the books that I could find translated by M. DeSant (sp?). Pretty nice work but I would recomend it only to the adults.

Barta any sugestion from french writers would be very welcome <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

About Discworld Noir : It might be very difficult to get it nowadays, because the publisher - and so Perfect Entertainment as the next element in chain - went bancrupt (or "out of business", as the euphemism says <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> ) . I've read an interview with the head of Perfect Entertainment somewher in an adventure site, but I don't remember where.

For all who are willing to read the Discworld : http://www.lspace.org


L-Space = "Librarian Space". You can find everything there ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sorry, Alrik, but IIRC Perfect was the developer, no?
GT Enteractive was the publisher which went bankrupt.
Sick Puppies IS Perfect (10). The new studio has most of the employees from P10, including Gregg Barnett.

Aha, thanks. I didn't know that. I only knew that Perfect Entertainment went bancrupt because they got no money by GT. It seems now that the people from Perfect invented a nerw company ...

@Luc
You've probably already red these, but just in case--Alexandre Dumas' Count of Monte Cristo, and all the Musketeer books--3 Musketeers, Man in the Iron Mask, etc.

I liked the Sherlock Homes books very much. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> I learned a lot from them how to watch and deduce my environments ... especially to look out for details. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> :P

I'm rereading the "Honor Harrington" series (sci-fi) by David Weber. Good books <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Word of warning: If you do get Discworld Noir and you have Windows XP, you need the No-CD Hack. The copy protection is incompatable with Windows XP. I found that very ammusing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Hmmm... Worked here "shrugs"...
Except that if I press anything other than "new game", the game crashes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.

and I am reading two books at the moment "Book of Angels" by Silvia Brown and "Blood Canticle" by Anne Rice

Computer books - action script(flash) - java development and etc...

That was the problem, and buggered I'm going to finish the game in one sitting.

I just started a new game, skipped the cinematics and loaded from the game menu.
If you want, I could give you the no cd file.

Just finished Timothy Zahn's The Thrawn Trilogy. Am going to read The Courtship of Princess Leia. The value of these Star Wars novels is a bit questionable here, since I don't even find some of them entertaining mind-candy. I must press on, though, for the sake of research.

ahh, yes, I've read almost ALL *except new jedi order, Alrik knows <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />*
STARWARS books, nd I think the Thrawn Triolgy is the best, at least all of TImothy Zahns novles, have you read the Hand of Thrawn, or the new one, Survivors Quest yet? You'd like em I think. Got my copy's signed by Zahn. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Already got it. Thanks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
